The real deal!
ClickBank is the
most used method of making money online I know in Internet Marketing. And it is because it actually can be used as a second job, with a little more work. And it's not for cheap bucks, like
CashCrate, this one is for real job-like income. And if you're tired of your boss and you really work good, then you can even quit your current job, because I've seen people
make a couple of thousands of dollars per month out of this one!
But just don't get too excited yet. Don't forget, this is real life, you actually have to WORK and BUILD YOUR WAY UP to make that money. You won't be earning thousands from your first week. As I said earlier, it just does not work like this. Like the torrent, you start with very low or none income in the first couple of weeks, when all you do is work a couple of hours a day. Only after you finish your main site and your SEO (short for Search Engine Optimization; I'll explain this later), you will start making money, and depending on what you sell and how you promote it, you may be
earning BIG money.
Of course there is a variable chance for something to not sell well, but this shouldn't discourage you! Not everything sells like hot-fresh bread. And you'll earn experience, which is way more valuable than money, because experience can be turned into money! Here's a good quote:
"I'm not afraid to fall,
To fall is not to fail,
You fail when you don't try,
I'm not afraid to fall,
I might just learn to fly!"
Going back to topic.
ClickBank is a site where big brands don't want to spend enormous amounts of money on other ways of advertising, so they pay Affiliates, which means people who are willing to advertise the product, with a Commission, usually between 50-75% of each product sold. So this way, if you're an affiliate, you
make money for each product you sell. And they have a way to do this which can't be easier! They just give you a link to the actual product, and you need to make that link public.
But here comes the real question:
HOW can I make people buy or at least see that product? There are many different ways you can do this. One is just giving the link to every person you know, and convince them to buy it. But that's not going to work very well. The most popular one is to make your own site, write about the product like your entire life depends on this site and then make it public through SEO.
So, what exactly Search Engine Optimization means? It basically means you have to do 'stuff' to make your site rank in top 2 pages of Google search. The quick way to do this is through PPC (pay per click), a method which will give you instant feedback and pageviews, but I don't recommend it if you're a newbie, because it will cost you money. The real SEO procedure is to make your site popular through advertising it yourself, with tons of work, and although results are seen in time, this will put your business on autopilot for a while.
I will be writing some guides to make those. In the meantime, I can recommend you some good books and a video guide for newbies for
making money online through
ClickBank. They are very good books, they will teach you step by step on how to
start and sustain your business.
